R18,000 pm | 3 Bedroom Freehold To Let in Observatory

Character-Filled Residence Available 1 January

Situated in the heart of the historic Observatory "field housing" area, offers a unique opportunity to rent a home with genuine traditional character. This well-established property avoids the clinical feel of modern developments, instead offering high ceilings, generous proportions, and the classic architectural features that define the suburb.

Property Features:

The Living Spaces

Living Area:

A spacious, comfortable room that stays true to the home's original layout.

Features high ceilings and that warm, lived-in feel typical of heritage properties.

A great central hub for the house that doesn't feel cramped.

Kitchen:

Practical and honest, focusing on functionality.

Plenty of storage and prep space for real cooking.

Fits perfectly with the traditional aesthetic of the rest of the house.

Key Features

3 Bedrooms & 2 Bathrooms: A rare find for these older homes, giving everyone enough space and avoiding the morning rush.

The Garden & Flatlet: There is a separate flatlet on-site occupied by a retired tenant. They are very quiet and actually take care of the garden section, so you get the benefit of a green space without having to do the heavy lifting yourself.

Availability: Ready for a fresh start on 5 January.

What’s Close By

Arnold Street is one of those great spots where you’re tucked away from the noise but still minutes from everything:

Coffee & Food: You’re a short walk from Lower Main Road, home to local favourites like Ground Zero, Sonder Café, and Jerry’s Burger Bar.

Nature & Fitness: Arnold Park is right there if you need a quick walk or some fresh air, and CityROCK is nearby for the climbers.

The Essentials: Very central for UCT students/staff and Groote Schuur professionals. You also have the new Riverlands Mall and the local Spar just down the road for easy shopping.

This is a genuine, old-school Obs home for someone who appreciates the neighbourhood's bohemian energy.
